Child And Adolescent Therapy In Conjunction With
Parent Guidance

There are many difficulties that you as a parent
might face as your children develop. Intellectual
understandings are often not of much help once a
problem appears. Once observable problems and
stress emerge, you will need to know what is up
between you and your child specifically, as well
as what are the conflicts your child is facing
and not handling well issues with you, with
friends, with self regulation, with school, with
self esteem, with aggression.

Common Symptoms And Struggles
Some of the problems parents face begin early and
can range from feeding, toilet training, handling
aggression, limit setting and discipline.
Children may be expressing insecurities about
themselves that seem contrary to their actual
capabilities and qualities of personality.

 They may be preoccupied by nightmares, have a
hard time sleeping well, be disrespectful of
authority, unable to concentrate at school,
resentful of homework or other responsibilities,
Sometimes kids feel isolated from other kids, or
feel less able to speak up for themselves. They
dont seem happy. Adolescent rebellion can make
life at home a kind of war between 2 worlds,
yours and theirs. And divorce, illness,
separations and untimely deaths also create
unusual stress for children and their families.
Sometimes it is hard to know what is wrong when
there are emotional outbursts, excessive crying,
or social withdrawal.

When Is It Time To Seek Help?
Some of these behaviors may be part of the
growing up process. Oftentimes, they are not. How
do you know when the issue is no longer an
outgrowth of normal development and is now
disruptive of the quality of your family life and
your childs ability to grow, mature and enjoy
their life in a healthy way?

This is the time to consider consulting a
seasoned clinician like myself. I have over 25
years of experience working with children,
adolescents and their families. I will listen
closely to your description of what bothers you
about your childs behavior. I will then meet
with your child either in my playroom (for kids
3-11) or in my regular consulting room (12
through adolescence). After a couple of meetings
with you as a parent and a couple of meetings
with your child, I can get a sense of what is
needed If needed, I will recommend a course of
dynamic therapy for your child accompanied by
occasional parental sessions.

In my playroom for kids under 11, I have many
expressive materials (paint, water play, blocks,
balls, dollhouse, clay, games) to facilitate PLAY
THERAPY that when utilized by your child express
much of what they are feeling and thinking. In my
interactions with them, I also learn much about
them as well. I build a relationship with them,
and build trust, just like with my adult
patients. I want them to grow to feel at ease and
comfortable with me.
